    Our Special place

     We all have to pay for our sins. It may be done by guilt or something else darker and abnormal.Everyone owns Silent Hill where redemption or eternal condemnation is at your hand. Are you willing to vistit this place? James Sunderland did after recieving letter from his decased wife. She wanted to meet him in town where they spent greatest time in their life. Health resort looks diferent this time its darker and abandoned but hero needs to confirm his wife status. Something hellish lies deeper but are you willing to uncover the truth... Story is greatest element in this instalment in Sillent Hill series. Alternative endings (5different) make player want to beat game couple times plus it has the rare feeling when you are not controling heroe- you are himtill the end. Everything is twisted especialy the arch enemie you created to torture your soul Pyramid Head. What is important is the fact that this Silent Hill is different. First time when Hary Mason was there he was in real place possesed by demons this time you will be in your own possesed mind that wants you to punish for .... something. Soundtrack is my personaly favorite. The deep and moving Theme of Laura in the intro informs that this trip will be personal later ist as good as at the begining.
    Graphic is quite nice but now may not look as good as people would want it to.
    With years passed since its original release Silent Hill 2 is still greatest in way of storytelling. Its more than just mere game. This title proves that games are form of art and deserve respect.

    I highly recomend this title to anyone who likes games that are somehow deep.

      I've seen a lot of this game in the past, though I've never really played it myself. This changed when a friend and I agreed to both play a game we had only watched before, Silent Hill 2 for me, and Shadow of the Colossus for him. If you're not a fan of survival horror, this game has some of the genre's typical problems in places, but overall it's a very strong, creepy experience, and ahead of its time in some ways. It definitely holds up better than I might have expected.I'm not a huge fan of t...
